Difference btw brother XL-2600 and XL-2610? Which one is better?
262
The main difference is that the XL-2600i has an automatic 1 step buttonhole while the XL-2610 has a 4 step manual buttonhole. If you are going to make very long button holes you will want the XL-2610 as the automatic ones made by the XL-2600i are limited in length to 1 1/8 inch.

The XL refers to larger (more expensive) ink tanks. I only use the XL parts because they last longer.

I'm on the fence too, but I think I'm going to go with the 770 over 1100. I've researched the two from tech site to tech site and they've all pointed to the 770 over the 1100. 10mps for $159 with free shipping isn't too shabby. If it turns out to be junk at least I'll give an honest review.

xl is extra large capacity. B is the standard cartridge, that your printer ships with

Haven't heard of a newer version but I know that some other xl's coming out are supposed to be having upgraded firmware. I would just read all the specs to make sure you are paying for what you want.

The difference is probably in the number of pages from the color cartridges. There is only one black cartridge, the TN221BK but there are two different sets of the color cartridges - the TN221 series and the TN225 series. The TN225 series cartridges will print more pages than the equivalent TN221 series cartridges, thus the higher price. I saw a Brother 5-pack that had all TN221 series cartridges for less than the one I bought. A lot depends on what you print, but it is likely that you'll get more pages out of the set with the TN225 color cartridges.

I sell these printers for a living. The main difference between the 8625 is it comes with a usb cable. Same software and drivers.

The one that I got was actual Brother, and it was not a refurb Brother. I cannot tell from looking at this question if you are ordering the same thing from the same vendor that I did.

I bought this unit as a replacement for a Brother 2270dw printer and it worked fine. I don't have your model so I can't confirm nor deny.

Brother has a very nice comparison page here: http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelCompare/4/MFC9560CDW_MFC9970CDW?tab=full Basically, the 9970 handles legal sized paper, is 20% faster (30 ppm vs 25 ppm), and has a larger ADF (50 pages vs. 35 pages).

I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same. That's the major upgrade from the 8600 as far as I can tell. The deciding factor was poor software reviews for the Epson bundle. My profession is end-user software development. There's no way I want to deal with someone's poor UI or feature set or compatibility issues. I just want to scan my family photos. I own the full Photoshop CS so I can basically clean up anything. My guess is for the average user there should be no marked difference between the scratch and dust removal capabilities or the scan densities or lightbar output. Ease of use pays off every time you start the thing up. Hope this helps. I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same.

I believe the LB 6800 is the same machine as my Brother SE400, if so, then yes!

I just upgraded my 8600 plus to the 8620 today and have aleady noticed alot of little enhacements. The automatic document feeder is more reliable and handles larger loads. Duplex printing is much faster. The output tray is less sticky and doesn't jam as easily when you pull it out.

Like others, I've only bought the Brother version, so I can't vouch for the aftermarket ones. Brother version works just fine, and since I don't do heavy printing with it, the price difference isn't important.

hp officejet pro 8630 is faster, wireless & boots up immediately when turned on; I had a 8500 pro, used it a lot, but the 8630 is the best so far; been using hp printers for years

I don't know I have only used Brother. I will say I really like this printer !

The only difference is the xl has twice as much ink. Most of the time the cartridges people buy are only half full.
